Advantages: INteresting to see what Metallica's influences were

Disadvantages: None as good as what they then became

Garage Inc was the official answer to an unofficial bootleg of an earlier recording that was doing the rounds a couple of years ago. Re-recorded and with more tracks, Metallica took on the pirates with this double album of covers.
I don't really know what to make of this album. I'm a little too young to have heard any of the originals, and I've no real desire to dig them out, so I have to judge this as a stand alone piece. And the fact is, it's not as good as Metallica's own stuff. A couple of songs, notably 'Whisky in the Jar' and 'Die, Die my Darling' stand out as excellant rock music, butthe rest are showing their age.
Really of interest only to real Metallica fans, and then just out of curiosity.
